Mahindra Adventure

Picked up today's newpaper (HT & DNA Mumbai) expecting to see atleast a decent sized advert, if not a full page one, and to my surprise, there was absolutely no mention of it anywhere :Shockked:

This makes me seriously doubt the seriousness of the organisers towards the quality of the show. Lets hope they circulate some adverts tomorrow.

Just snuck out of my office in Andheri to go have a look. Took some pictures from my cell-cam but had to run back to work again. Will upload them in a while.

Autocross Event had not started when I went. The event was scheduled to start at 3 PM, but the Autocross desk had no idea about the event. There were just two ladies at the completely empty desk. I asked them about registering online for the qualifying, or when the event will start and a couple more things and their response were they have not been informed about anything yet. BTW the Autocross stall is inside the Gadget show area, and not the Performance show.

The cars that caught my eye -

1) Porsche 911( plus Boxster, Cayenne and Panamera )
2) A Matt Black Aventador
3) G55 AMG
4) SLS AMG ( There is a stall with just AMG cars - C63, G55 and SLS )
5) Club Torque cars - F430, R8 and LP560-4
6) A Matt Black Aventador
7) LP570-4
8) 458 italia( This one was in the BMC Air Filters stall )
9) Hyundai Veloster
10) A Matt Black Aventador( Yes i'm a lamborghini nut :D)

@StrangeWizard - I'll try to come in tomorrow as well, what time do you plan to go there?

A few pics from my visit today.
